DTP,

Never mind that, since the December announcement of TW deal with, has to said, great fan-fair by Mitch, other than a few days on from the RNS in December our SP has FAILED to rise above our opening RNS SP of the 20th December 2022 .... Yes, what an amazing deal for SH's, as if !! ~220p looks nailed on atm, not to worry, tomorrow we all Pass Go and collect 9p/s for our patience.

Where is this accretive side of the TW deal Mitch, I'm struggling to see were it's going to come from tbh, though I do live in Hope !

AI, keep talking your book.

Cyber protection will be and continue to be a growth industry afaic for many years to come, DARK are not doing too bad atm.

It's not easy moving from one provider to another, difficult enough when moving home broadband, let alone whole company protection that may include 1,000's upon 1,000's of nodes.

Sales are critical to get your foot in the door, then up to DARK's techie's working with the customer to prove the product's worth. Remember DARK's sales team are up against other provider's retention team .... Sales are the front-line in this battle.

Well, Labour have already harked on about nationalising the electricity supply / carrier sector, could they really afford it !

As soon as they make a move on any large company in any sector, the whole market will crash ... you think Truss made a boo boo, just wait to see what carnage nationalisation would do, let alone the aftermath of running a nationalised business with HMG in charge, UK PLC would be downgraded to junk !!

Last estimate by CBI to nationalised major sectors (rail / mail / water / energy supply networks) was put at £196bn, that exclude O&G btw, guess figure would be closer to £300bn.

As for how much would they pay for SQZ, well, we are NOT a distressed company, so HMG would need to pay at very least weighted average of past 6 months at best +30% of that. We also assume that HMG will take full 100%, maybe 51% would be their position ?

Think what that would do to private pensions, would they still allow payment of good dividends or dividends at all and the companies that run them ?

Too many banana skins, although Labour voters and Hand Out Britian will love it, god help us all !!

Storm in a teacup for sure.

This occurred in 2018, full 3 YEARS prior to IPO, since then EY carried out a full investigation into DT's accounts this year following unfounded allegations by QR and found nothing of any real note.

aimo & dyor

You all know what to do.

TIA

You ignore the point that DARK already have the best product in the market, imo and that 'others' need to spend excessively on R&D as they are playing catch-up.

Also DARK's partnerships with Uni's across the world are not classes within their R&D budget.

Plus, pointless having produced a great product, DARK need to continue pushing sales to get it to market, increasing revenue, thus increased budgets, chicken & egg, is it not ! Clearly, DARK believe they have the right balance atm imo.

Finally, you have been forever banging on about R&D time and time again, post after post after post, think we get all your point by now.

Put our head above 400p again, only to once more get smacked back down sub 400p...

Someone needs shed-load of shares at sub 400p imo .. all good news if that's the case.

aimo & dyor

@ 265.7p ... ho hum !

muckle, not sure I would class myself as 'warming' quite yet. atb

TK Max have made it work ....

Upcoming dividend of UK£0.09 per share at 11% trailing yield

Eligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 26 October 2023.

• Payment date: 23 November 2023.

• Trailing yield: 11%.

o Within top quartile of British dividend payers (6.6%).

o Higher than average of industry peers (6.0%).

"Was cancelled because of the trading halt. Arriving tomorrow.."

Usually RNS's are 'set' a release time/date and stacked up waiting, so if it was due, such an important RNS as that WOULD need to be released asap, ie intra-day, we shall see. Could they get away withholding it for ~24 hours, questionable I would say but not impossible.

Thrown everything in here ready for CoP RNS, sold the kitchen sink and the wife on sale or return, unfortunately the wife was returned. ( only joking my love )

On a serious note, there are clear efficiency & market synergies here for the right acquirer.

Disrupting BB is hallmark of concerted effort to aid attack on SP.

Looks like here we go again … same MO, same pattern .

Just report, report .... and report UNTIL its removed

TIA

Here we go once more ... just report, report .... and report UNTIL its removed

TIA

If, such 'Rumblings' were true, then a close way above +10p should be expected today.

aimo & dyor

Or climb to ~450p

RSI(14) weakest since Jan 2023, so looking for SP to recover recently lost ground.
